I know I probably need to do better, fuck whoever
Keep my shit together
You never told me being rich was so lonely
Nobody know me, oh well
Hard to complain from this five-star hotel
~
(Mac Miller, Small Worlds)
So I will walk
Crawl if I have to
Through the dark
On my knees
And the fall slips into winter
And you call me
In the breeze
I won’t lie
My feet are tired
My hands are bound up in chains
Oh it’s been a long day
~
(JR/SM, 2021)
You let me down
You let me down a hundred times
But I’m still around
With an open wound left me black and blue
Is your heart that cold
Used to think that it was made of gold
I’m still hung up on the dream of us you sold
But I guess that story better left untold
~
(JR/AR, 2024)
Things are amazing
I'm making music I love
It's the life I wanted but my self-esteem's been rough
It's kinda crazy, I'm trying to work out the game
Sing the truth of my life and monetising my pain
~
(Ben Abraham, 2023)
Baby I don’t mean a thing to you
I know that I see shadows behind your truth
All of words and all of your songs
Are not worth the paper they’re written on
I’d look in your eyes under blood red skies
But your deeds and your promises just don’t align
~
(JR, 2024)
Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
~
(Bruce Springsteen, 1993)
I’ve been thinking over
How the hell can I show her
I’ve been getting sober
It only means the nights get colder
I kept you in the dark
and I let us fall apart
I’m a fool but could you love me anyway
I’m a fool but I’ll love you everyday
~
(JR, 2024)
So why don't we run into the night
Like the sun won't ever come up?
Call it the end of the world
Start fallin' in love
Like it's the first and the last time
We get to set our hearts on fire
~
(Rhys Lewis, 2022)
How can you miss someone you've never seen?
Oh, tell me, are your eyes brown, blue, or green?
And do you like it with sugar and cream?
Or do you take it straight, oh, just like me?
~
(Alexander 23, 2020)
Here's to the nights we were choking
On drinks that we couldn't afford
Here's to the days we were broken
Trying but coming up short
We almost died a littlе bit, but we got something out of it
Look at how far we'vе come
~
(Knox, 2024)
Well I've never been worse
But I've never been better
And I'm in love with the person that I'm becoming
But I'm more insecure than ever
And the more I learn the less I know, but it's alright
Two different things can both be true at the same time
~
(Ben Abraham, 2023)
How can you miss someone you've never seen?

(Alexander 23, 2020)
I didn’t think It would end like this
It would end like this
What did I miss
I got burned every time
But I couldn’t resist
Couldn’t resist
~
(JR/MR/GB, 2022)
Fortunately, I believe, lucky me
I'm searching for planes in the sea and that's irony
Soil just needs water to be and a seed
So if we turn into a tree, can I be the leaves?
~
(The 1975, 2020)
I'm just another man down
She's a drop-dead, stone-cold killer
Has a finger on her lips and the trigger
And how am I not supposed to wanna be with her?
And now she's got me where shе wants me
Knew it was over whеn she touched me
I'm just another man down
~
(Knox, 2023)
Golden girl
She could move me like the seasons
Oh my good lord
We were dancing with the heathens
Whatcha good for?
Taking every better reason to live
Could you tell me why?
~
(A Story Told, 2023)
See I spent my teens enraged
Spiralin' in silence
And I armed myself with a grin
'Cause I was always the fuckin' joker
Buried in their humor
Amongst the white noise and boys' boys
Locker-room talkin' lads' lads
Drenched in cheap drink and snide fags
~
(Sam Fender, 2021)
